Lesson 3: Think, Feel, Act; Guiding Voice
In this lesson, we will introduce the concept of a Guiding Voice, the little voice inside each child that helps him or her decide if something is safe or unsafe. Students will be encouraged to pay attention to what their Guiding Voices are telling them. The other major concept in this lesson is Think, Feel, Act. Students will be presented with a variety of scenarios and will be asked what they would think in that situation, how they would feel and how they would act. This lesson encourages students to take steps to tell someone when a situation makes them feel confused or “icky.”
Teacher Notes:
There will be classroom discussion in this lesson. I am going to give 2 scenarios. Some students may identify that the situation is unsafe. Their Safety Stop Sign should remind them to use their I Mean Business Voice when something is unsafe.
